Conference Speaker
This year, we are proud to welcome Saja Awida, a successful crossfit athlete, olympic weightlifter, and coach, to our She Moves Conference. Over dinner, particpants will get a chance to hear about Saja's experiences within physical activity as a woman in the competitive crossfit and recreational olympic weightlifting scene, get beginner-friendly tips for getting started in the gym, and have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with each other.
"I am Saja Awida, a senior Fitness and Performance Coach and U of T alum. I started CrossFit at the young age of 13, and soon realized that fitness is my passion. I started competing in CrossFit at 15, and have since been the 5th Fittest in Egypt for 2 years. I started coaching and competing in Olympic weightlifting 2 years ago. I feel incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share my passion with everyone through my work here with Fitness & Performance."
